Clapton coil

[smok627]

CLAPTON COIL First attempt at making the Clapton Coil. 24g wrapped with 30g. 5 coils around 3/32 running single coil at .4 ohms. On a Freakshow rda with my ipv Mini 2 at 50 watts.

Nice Clapton! next time you can also try the stovetop version!

Stovetop is my next attempt. Along with the zipper coil.

fused claptons are even yummier but i wouldnt do a fused untill your taste buds get bored of the stnd clapton

Nice one man. I've made a few just to mess around, but was never happy with my install of it in the atty. There kinda springy. Anyone have tips on the springyness of them and how to combat that at all?

I started out with a straightened piece of 24 and after the coil was wrapped with the 30 I torched the coil between tweezers. This helped with the springiness. Hope this helped.

I was kinda thinking that. I'll have to give it another try and see how it goes.

I just did my first Clapton by hand (no drill) - 30 around 26 - 7 wraps, 0.6 ohms - on a Tobh atty, 34 watts on a Tesla 120 mod - I'm having a vapegasm at the moment and my roommate keeps trying to steal my vape. Wow. Just wow.

Scratch that... I just took that sucker all the way up to 120w. Yes it's 0.6 ohms. Yes. I died and went to heaven. Yes!!!

When you've wrapped the core, take it out of the drill and cut each end so there is a couple of mm of bare core, with no outside wrap. Fold that back on itself over the outer wrap, so it locks the outside wrap in place. When you're wrapping the coil itself, use a drill bit a little smaller than the ID you're trying to achieve - the wraps will loosen a bit to roughly your target ID. so if you want a 2.5mm ID, try wrapping on a 2.0mm drill bit (or screwdriver or whatever you use).

One question. The voltage keeps changing on my mod... Resistance is not changing, steady at 0.6, wattage set to 120, should be ~8.5 V... and sometimes shows 8.5 V... then drops to 6.0, 5.5 etc... Batteries are showing half charge, is this why? I'm on a Tesla 120, dual 18650 in series, Samsung 25r's... I'm well within the amp limit, this setup at accurate 8.5V pushes under 15 A (mod itself limits at 24A which is lower than the batteries' limit)... I'm new to super high power, I figure it's probably voltage drop & inability to boost enough but am I right? And if so, is this a flaw in the mod I've had less than 2 weeks and never taken over 70W til this coil, or is this normal with batt drain?

PS I did check the coil on a multimeter too as always. The 0.6 shown on the Tesla is actually 0.62, so close enough, it always rounds to tenths...
